Although the background love story isn't totally unpredictable, the excitement is as Vanora manages to sidestep the spoilers that history itself provides to give us an encyclopaedic and hugely satisfying read. It also made me really happy to be living in this country and moment in history, at least for the moment.
Thank you, Century, for providing us with a copy for review. We also have a review of [[The White Russian by Vanora Bennett]].
Further Reading: If you want to read more fiction about the Russian Revolution, we definitely recommend [[Cold Blood by James Fleming]]. If you want a good book about the sort of world that the children of the revolutionaries eventually inherited, try the equally excellent [[One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore]]. You might also appreciate [[A Replacement Life by Boris Fishman]].
